this month's article - You don't live in the world alone your brothers are here too

Much of our work helps leaders to bring to awareness their early life and the influence this has on their thinking, feeling, behaviour and leadership. This piece takes the form of an interview / discussion with the Jeffery brothers. Chris Jeffery is Head of an extremely successful Independent school working with materially well-off children leading a vision to create a curriculum which encourages them to take their own place as responsible mindful leaders in the world.
